Moreover, the existence of this burning man is not meaningless, isn't this a ready-made sample of the failure of the immortal ritual!

In today's era, the casters who can perform the immortality ritual all have deep backgrounds, and even if they fail, it will not be Xia Duo's turn to study.

Although he is not interested in transforming himself into an inhuman immortal rite now, who can guarantee such a thing in the future?

It might be possible to develop an improved version of the gradual transformation that has no effect on self-awareness!

If there is a benefit, it will not be a loss.

However, the existence of the Burning Man was indeed something that Xia Duo had not thought of before, and he was no longer very sure whether Rodit and the others could continue to keep secrets.

After all, the Burning Man is likely to involve the Immortality Ritual, and even if it does not involve the Immortality Ritual, the state of the Burning Man itself is very worthy of study.

This is especially true for the Kieran Tower, where Rodit is located.

Who knows if this is the beginning of a new fire elemental bloodline!

Withdrawing all the way, Xia Duo kept thinking about whether to inform Greta of the situation here, but when he thought that the princess had ascended to the gods and the incarnation was about to leave, Gretta's identity in the Gilles Tower would be somewhat embarrassing.

In case someone from the Kieran Tower came forward to forcibly occupy this ruin, Greta himself actually couldn't say much, and at most he could only rely on the favor left by the princess, or the deterrence of the new gods.

But in that case, is it worth it?

What price does it cost to get Greta to make such a sacrifice?

Maybe if you still want this ruin at that time, you can only choose to join the Kiran Tower, but there is still a big difference between the Seven Towers camp and joining the Kiran Tower, for a person with ambitions like Xia Duo.

A mere remnant of a half-plane experiment accident is not worth it for Xia Duo.

……

Thinking about it all the way, Xia Duo quickly left the mage tower, and then continued through the portal provided by Rodit to the forest outside the ruins.

According to the previous agreement or the general exploration process, even if this exploration is over here, it is time to divide the account.

Xia Duo released the bookshelves and supplies he had collected from the mage tower before, along with a large amount of rubble, and piled up the humbled glade where the six people were.

"Master Rodit, these are all the harvests, you take an inventory first, the materials will be distributed here, books, manuscripts, notes, etc., I will bring them back to the watchtower first, you can send someone or go to the watchtower yourself to transcribe."

Rodit glanced at the harvest on the ground, looked at Abner, and said, "If it weren't for Lord Chado this time, we wouldn't have these harvests, and the materials would all go to Lord Chado, as for these books-"

Speaking of this, Rodit paused, "These books may contain some ancient mage ingenuity that is not outdated so far, and this is the main purpose of our exploration this time, let's share it according to the agreement, and then we need to disturb Lord Xia Duo." ”

"Since there has been an agreement, let's follow the agreement!"

Xia Duo did not accept half of the materials that Rodit deliberately conceded, although it was worth tens of thousands, but such a failure to abide by the agreement would leave hidden dangers.

Who knows if Rodit said this on purpose to induce him to abandon the agreement, and then turn around and leak the ruins and the existence of the burning man.

Although the agreement between the casters is rarely witnessed by the Lord of Radiance, and even the written contract text is not left in many cases, there are only a few people who play with the contract, and it is not popular to directly violate the contract, but to look for loopholes.

This is also a game of wisdom in nature, and breaking the contract can lead to a loss of social prestige and direct anger on the other side of the contract, but with the help of loopholes, it can win applause.

Even if the other party to the contract is angry, it is difficult to attack directly, and it is more regretful that he did not think about it.

Although the agreement between Xia Duo and Rodit is a simple verbal agreement, it is precisely because of its simplicity that some loopholes are not easy to exploit.

On the way to evacuate the ruins, Xia Duo had been thinking about what form Rodit and the others would breach, so when he heard Rodit say that he would give up the half of the harvest that belonged to him, Xia Duo was extremely sensitive.

Maybe Rodit could give it up on his own, but Xia Duo couldn't ask for it, otherwise there was a risk of giving up the agreement on his own.

As for bringing the books back to the watchtower, the original agreement did not mention how to share the gains of knowledge, so as long as Chardo did not refuse to copy Rodit's past, it was not a breach of contract.

Even if he does something in the middle, it is not a breach of contract, but if he wants to delay time, then he will directly breach the contract.

The simpler the agreement, the more free it is for both parties, and the less likely it is to have a "black box operation".

For Rodit, even if he asked for on-site transcription, Xia Duo could not refuse, after all, the harvest of shared knowledge was part of the agreement.

However, Rodit did not have to transcribe on the spot, but began to count all the books, manuscripts, notes, and other gains.

As for the remaining three, under the leadership of Virgil, they counted the part of the materials that Xia Duo brought out of the mage tower warehouse.

It is very easy to count ordinary materials, and it can be converted according to the approximate market price, and the inventory of knowledge harvest is more troublesome.

If nothing else, at least write down the quantity, the title of the book, or be more careful, memorize some specific passages in the book, in case Xia Duo brings it back to revise or drop the bag or something.

Although Xia Duo may not necessarily do this, in the case that the agreement is not specific and there is no contractual constraint, it is natural to give full play to the freedom of both parties to the contract.

……

Seeing that the other five were busy, Xia Duo didn't want to wait for this, so he rummaged through the books that Rodit and Abner had counted.

There were too many doubts about the mage tower, about "Hildalana", about the burning man, and in the process of rummaging, he first excluded the original elven books that were well-made, and instead chose the color-resistant native parchment books that were not very beautifully bound.

"Color Resistant Scroll Record 02", the name is written very bluntly, but Xia Duo is not like this now.

"The Pros and Cons of Elven Magic" and "The Advanced Application of Levitation Magic", these Xia Duo are very interested, but these don't seem to have much to do with this mage tower, so he can only continue to skip them.

In this way, after looking through more than twenty books that were not directly related to the Mage Tower, Xia Duo began to re-examine the contents of these books.

Flip through the books directly, and then re-realize the fast reading in the consciousness through memory retrospection, of course, if you only do it once, you will still miss a lot of information, and it may not be much faster than reading directly.

But if the time is extended, the efficiency of memory retrospection can be revealed.

After going through all the books that had been counted, Xia Duo stepped aside and pondered, countless words circling and shuttling in his mind.

Eventually, he found several names that appeared more frequently, including "Hildalana"!

What an elf!

And she's also the aunt of the owner of this mage tower!
